I made this under helicopter on TD default.yaml the plan is to make all the air units visible on the air,but the code it doesn't work as i imagined.

Code: Select all

^Helicopter&#58;
	HiddenUnderFog@GROUND&#58;
		AlwaysVisibleStances&#58; Ally
		Type&#58; CenterPosition
		RequiresCondition&#58; !airborne
	HiddenUnderFog@AIRBORNE&#58;
		AlwaysVisibleStances&#58; Ally, Enemy
		Type&#58; CenterPosition
		RequiresCondition&#58; airborne

And i get this in short

Code: Select all

Exception of type `System.InvalidOperationException`&#58; Actor tran has multiple traits of type `OpenRA.Traits.IDefaultVisibility`
   at OpenRA.TraitDictionary.TraitContainer`1.GetOrDefault&#40;UInt32 actor&#41;
   at OpenRA.TraitDictionary.TraitContainer`1.Get&#40;UInt32 actor&#41;
   at OpenRA.TraitDictionary.Get&#91;T&#93;&#40;Actor actor&#41;
   at OpenRA.Actor.Trait&#91;T&#93;&#40;&#41;

   at OpenRA.Program.Run&#40;String&#91;&#93; args&#41;
   at OpenRA.Program.Main&#40;String&#91;&#93; args&#41;

So is this even possible? how you make this work?

p.s. any tutorials on Identifier Suffix will be a welcome addition, thanks.

Looking at the trait list: HiddenUnderFog does not support suffix or conditions by default.

I'm fairly novice at this - and perhaps someone more experienced has a method for doing this - but I think without modifying the trait, the closest you could do is have air units visible at all times through fog, or not at all.

This.

IdentifierSuffix doesn't really need a tutorial IMO - it allows to set unique IDs for trait instances where the trait has multiple-instances support (HiddenUnderFog/AlwaysVisible/FrozenUnderFog aren't among these however). Technically all traits support IdentifierSuffixes though, but it's no point specifying one if the actor can't/won't have additional instances of them.

I see, darn it.
Well thank you both for your help!
